Another Say It with Flowers Thank You Card

Before February is over (thank goodness it is leap year), here is another card created with the February 2024 Stamp Of The Month.

In addition to Say It with Flowers—February Stamp of the Month + Thin Cuts (Z7116), I used the doily from the Sweet Memories Cardmaking Workshop Kit (G1298) and the arrow-like shape from Looking Forward—January Stamp of the Month + Thin Cuts (Z7115). I do not remember with certainty which stamp set the sentiment was in, but I think it was from one of the Craft with Heart™ Cardmaking Subscription stamp sets. I colored with the Colored Pencils Bundle.

If you are curious about the Craft with Heart™ Cardmaking Subscription was about, be sure to check out the Clearance section of my eCommerce site. There are six different subscription boxes there that make about 20 cards, for less than the cost of a D-size stamp set. You only need adhesives to create the cards.

Thank you for visiting today.

Thank You Card using the February 2024 SOTM

Below is a Thank You card I created with the February Stamp of the Month Say It with Flowers.

The sentiment is from the November 2023 SOTM. I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the White Daisy panel first. I used the die cuts to help me decide where to stamp the individual leaves and flowers to make the bouquet larger then I layered the die cuts on top with Thin 3D Foam Tape. I layered the panel on top of Jade cardstock and added that to the card front.

I am also writing today to remind you that the February SOTM is only available until the end of February–orders need to be finalized by 1:59am EST Friday, March 1 (11:59pm MST on Thursday, February 29, 2024).

Also ending on February 29th is Love Notes.
